Science-Art-Community Collaborations
ERI finds collaborative solutions to critical environmental challenges facing society. Transdisciplinary teams of faculty, students, and external partners link innovative research with action on issues of climate change, water security, and coastal resilience. The ERI integrates the natural and social sciences, humanities, and the arts with public policy, business, law, engineering, architecture, and data science.
The Coastal Futures Conservatory integrates arts and humanities into the investigation of coastal change. In collaboration with Virginia Coastal Reserve Long-Term Ecological Research program, the Conservatory aims to deepen understanding and stimulate imagination by opening ways to listen to the dynamics reshaping coasts.
